    Spoke to a friend who flew today and he said the Jab 230 in his hangar with a new gen4 six cylinder and said I hoped its not subject to the recall. On my way home before I phoned to ask what he found out. The engine is subject to the recall and the owner will fly it to Bundaberg for the work on the 1st June, said expect a week turnaround. I'm flying tomorrow and the owner of the 230 will be out there so I'll ask him. We usually have a cuppa after a fly so will ask then if Jab are doing the removal and refit as part of the fix or if he is paying for the removal and refit. He is very competent as has built and early model jab and a mechanic by trade so may even do some spanner turning down there.

    Agree, my w&b went through RAAus tech with no further information or documentation needed, approved by a third party and no cost or fee; just took a couple of weeks. Quote for w&b by an approved organisation and included travel was $1800-00 and if two on same day the travel component could be split.

    If I was affected that would not be good enough. You should be able to drop of the plane and pickup when done. Or if distance a problem the removal and refit etc at their expense. Could maybe make for a class action.
  4. Blueadventures
    Yep, they should do exchange engines. That would be fair and pay both freights and the removal and install cost.

    Agree was going to say the same, very, very rare to be provided definative and total advice these days even by the regulators, they will only advise generally and say to apply and they will then specifically address your application.
  6. Blueadventures
    Its a great guide, it alerts you to where you need direction from CASA about additional information to support the application. Best guide available.
  7. Blueadventures
    Is that because you did not do your own maintenance, annuals etc.
  8. Blueadventures
    Design is over600kg so should have got 600.
  9. Blueadventures
    Right in the ball park of a jab 230D as they are listed at 390kg and some down to 370kg then compare fuel capacities.
  10. Blueadventures
    Yep; there was posts about it on the Auster Owners Face book site yesterday.
  11. Blueadventures
    Looks like fun and nice weather.
  12. Blueadventures
    Got all done now 600 kg, just need weather to clear; all clagged in at present.
  13. Blueadventures
    Looks like a Robbie 44 mast, will await conformation.
  14. Blueadventures
    I received a text from RAAus Tech that all my Nynja’s paperwork regarding w&b has been approved and will receive email approval to 600 kg tomorrow. Yeeha!

    The stitching failed the 'Bettsometer' test; at about 1kg stitches broke (needs to remain intact at 1.360kg). Seems aircraft spent a couple of years in the open. New skins (all) were purchased from UK. Wings, rudder and one tail plane are done. Do some more tomorrow. Owner Ben is looking forward the work being done and also getting the 600 kg upgrade approved. I received a text that all my Nynja’s paperwork regarding w&b has been approved and will receive email approval to 600 kg tomorrow. Yeeha!

    The cylinder fins look turned 90 degrees to the air flow and looks like the coolant jacket extends under the head onto the upper area of the cylinder. very different to the lower hp version I've seen reviews on. Thanks for post.

    If question is about my posts reference to weight it was referring to the additional material at the forward end on the case (crankcase) that would allow for more distance between the two bearing there to add better support and that would mean the prop adaptor flange and its spacing to be shortened as explained by Paul. I reckon you would enjoy a day or two in Pauls workshop; I know I would. Cheers.
  18. Blueadventures
    Definitely a good development; however will add a little weight which may be offset by the shorter less mass of the prop flange / spacer.

    The early billet one Paul is working on in his shop has a cracked crank and the recall is on the newer ones which have a forged crankshaft.
  20. Blueadventures
    Not sure, but is is connected to were billet now forged?
  21. Blueadventures
    Its close; received message that will be approved to fly early next week. We've had short weeks and school holidays over here so expected possible delay. Didn't matter much two weeks ago as weather was horrible, great now. I'll post when I have paperwork back. Thanks for asking, Cheers.

    The P3 does not have a mess inside when used just a thin dried coating. (Skippy message not for your viewing; so don't get up tight about the fact that it is not my tube / tyre I'm talking about; I don't want you concerned that its not personal experience / ownership of the tubes😇.) The tyres I'm talking about are not ply rated but advertised as like 4ply in strength. Thread depth is 3mm. The Sava type on Wagga Bike and Tyres webb site. For sure a heaver thicker 6 ply tyre would be better. Yes the 3 corners get us for sure. I carry two spare tubes for this reason to fit a new tube, need to ensure no thorn or thorns in tyre before fitting.
  23. Blueadventures
    I'll let Ben know you are inquiring in case he does not see your question.
  24. Blueadventures
    Skip; I've shared what I know, Your detail is piss poor as you don't bother to share the brand you used with success. You often do this when you push for detail off myself and others, you need to lift your game or exit. As for your comments running down my information you can keep your opinion to yourself. For others I can assure them that the information is as good as top shelf RD testing by an approved authority, and I'll back in the effectiveness of the Motul P3 product for flat tubed tyres.
  25. Blueadventures
    I have detailed my knowledge of the P3 product in the earlier post and in the other thread. It would be helpful to all if you could update your post with the product brand detail of what you used. You have omitted this information.
